This is an individual category.
Like a real audition, participants will read with a reader. A reader is a person in the room that will
read the opposite lines in the scene but does not get up to act with the
actor auditioning.
Participants will have at least 5 minutes to prepare sides that will
be given to them at the session. Actors should NOT use this time to memorize lines. Instead, the actor
should concentrate on
making bold yet appropriate character choices, taking risks, and listening.
Participants should be prepared to take direction from the director in the
room.
Scenes may be taken from the following plays:
Our Town, Hedda Gabler, The Crucible, and/or TBA

These must be performed by the person that wrote the monologue.
Participants must bring a copy of their monologue to each session and
hand it to the room monitor Room monitors will follow the monologue as it is being
performed to ensure that the participant is not making it up. With this in mind, participants should have a minimum of 3 copies of
their script (for Session 1, the Wild Card session, and Finals).
